The Polychrome Historic District is a national historic district in the Four Corners neighborhood in Silver Spring, Montgomery County, Maryland. It recognizes a group of five houses built by, John Joseph Earley in 1934. And 1935. Earley used precast concrete panels with brightly colored aggregate——to produce the polychrome effect, with Art Deco details. The two-inch-thick panels were attached to a conventional wood frame. Earley was interested in the "use of mass-production techniques to produce small," inexpensive houses, paralleling Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian house concepts.
